Chapter 40 39

"Will I never doubted your loyalty but this isn't just about me." He touched his heart and thought of Kitty in her weakened state. 'Kitty, what is the right course of action to take? This isn't just about me anymore' Leo picked up his glass and drank it all in one shot.

There was a knock at the door but neither of the men moved. "If you don't open the door I'll let myself in!" Kitty yelled at the door.

Leo stared at the door in shock and rushed to get the door open. "What are you doing up?" He said as he opened the door.

Kitty walked through the door. She was in her fox form. "Leo, I'm pretty sure I said that I was not fragile. I just needed to rest and since you didn't come back I came to see what was going on. You two are too loud and are lucky that I put up a barrier or else someone else could've heard what you two were talking about." She slammed the door. "I thought hunters were more careful than this?"

Leo froze at her appearance. "Is it wise to be walking about in your natural form?" Leo didn't know what else to say. He didn't notice her presence. "What exactly did you hear?"

Will looked at Kitty and back at Leo. "It's no wonder you wanted to get her back to your room Leo. I've never met a fox demon like this before. If I didn't think something was up with you I would've never thought that she wasn't a human."

"I heard EVERYTHING!" She pointed her finger at Leo. "You have a really good friend and I think it is safe to trust him. Your bosses are really cautious but it is ridiculous that all non-humans would hurt humans. Some of us just want to live in peace. So if you are working to change the system I would like to help out in any way that I can." She then turned to Will. "If anything happens to any of my people you will bare my wrath, Will. I'm sure just about none of the hunters your age have met a fox demon that is in their fox form. We don't usually stay in this form long unless we have to. In my case, I have no choice but to stay in my natural form."
